The blood is the most important fluid in the body. It carries oxygen and nutrients to every cell and carries the waste away. The blood needs to operate at a very specific pH range of 7.35-7.45 – slightly alkaline.The body is constantly trying to maintain the proper pH of the blood. It does this through intricate buffer systems. It uses minerals — specifically alkaline minerals– to buffer the acids. The body eliminates the metabolic waste through respiration. Excess acid is excreted through the urine. If your diet is insufficient in veggies and fruit (alkaline minerals), and high in meat, grain, sugar, etc . (acid minerals), the system becomes very toxic.
